Scam company refusing to refund

Purchased an Oura ring and immediately retuned as wrong size. It’s been a month, repeated emails and no refund. Raised a dispute with PayPal and they are now saying due to this they can’t refund me! Appalling customer service. Raising tickets each time no one to speak to in person. Bought through this company as offered NHS discount and I’m a doctor. Would rather have paid the additional 30 and got via Oura directly. Avoid at all costs scam company who refuse to give back £465 l. Would give no stars if possible

I placed an order yesterday…

I placed an order yesterday, and I completely understand the uncertainty that can arise when you receive no tracking reference or order details, particularly when the website states that your item will be delivered the next working day. At that point, you can’t help but wonder whether you’ve been scammed.

I ordered a MacBook Pro and needed an urgent update before considering contacting my card company to investigate. Thankfully, I received several calls from Justin, who immediately put my mind at ease. He provided me with tracking information and said he would keep me updated via WhatsApp — and he did exactly that.

Justin genuinely cares about his customers, and that came across clearly in every interaction and message. His communication and reassurance made a real difference.

Sometimes, you just need to have a little faith. 👍

After placing the initial order

After placing the initial order, I received confirmation of payment than nothing. Ive logged a support ticket as this is a gift for a birthday but getting an update is very difficult. Cannot track order on supplier site, they have no knowledge of it - more clarity on order tracking would be beneficial I think.

Urgent Order Delivery Complaint

Update after receiving the item (16/09/2026)

Initially, my experience with customer service was a little mixed. However, the moment Justin stepped in, everything got back on track and moved quickly.

Justin took the time to personally call me, understood the situation, and made sure the delivery schedule was brought forward. As a result, the delivery was successfully completed this morning. He also followed up with another call after delivery to check that everything had arrived safely and was in order.

I really appreciate Justin’s professionalism, dedication, and proactive approach. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was resolved smoothly.

Thank you very much, Justin, for your excellent service and commitment!

I ordered a Samsung Galaxy Watch8…

I ordered a Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic Black LTE during their Vodafone promotion. I was very happy to finally find the watch at a reasonable price and placed my order at around 7am on the first day of the offer, so I was confident my order would be fulfilled.
Unfortunately, after repeatedly chasing for updates, I was eventually told that the watch was unavailable due to limited stock. Considering how early I placed my order, this was extremely disappointing and left me questioning whether sufficient stock was actually available when the promotion went live.
I will give credit where it is due: they were responsive to my emails, processed my refund immediately when requested, and personally called me to apologise, which I appreciated.
Normally, based purely on the ordering experience, I would have given 1 star, but because of the communication, quick refund and personal apology, I am giving 2 stars.
Overall, a very disappointing experience. If you need an item quickly or are relying on the advertised availability, I unfortunately cannot recommend ordering based on my experience.

Hi Vlad

Thanks for the review.

Apologies once again that we were unable to fulfill your order and you did not want the alternative color of the same product that was available.

This is an isolated incident due to circumstances beyond our control which is not affected any of the other thousands of orders we regularly send out.

If you ever see one of our offers again there you would like to take advantage of, you have my direct line, so just give me a shout. I will make the deal even sweeterr for you.

All the best

AOD Oura ring

I placed an order with AOD for an Oura ring. The item was collected by DHL, but tracking has shown it is stuck at the delivery depot since 28th August without any update or delivery attempt.
​When I requested a refund for the undelivered goods, AOD informed me they are waiting on the brand (Oura) to investigate with DHL, which could take up to 2 weeks.
​Under Section 29 of the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, the responsibility for undelivered goods remains with the retailer (AOD). Third-party courier investigations are an internal merchant matter and do not override statutory consumer rights. Asking a customer to wait weeks for a refund on goods that were never delivered is unacceptable customer service.
​I request that AOD issue an immediate full refund for this undelivered order.
The order number is #343214

Excellent customer service

A few days after purchasing what was a brilliant deal on Ray-Bans through them I had a panic that I didn't have any delivery info or who/what company was my point of contact so I emailed AOD asking for help and to my surprise they quickly replied with an apology and an explanation of why the delay in being shipped...from then on in until i confirmed I had received item, their communication with updates on shipping was fantastic! It's very rare to be treated as a person and not a number these days so I was delighted with the excellent customer care at first point of contact...would be happy to use them again.

Extremely disappointed with the…

Extremely disappointed with the customer service. What should have been a straightforward delivery turned into a frustrating experience where I had to repeatedly chase for information and updates myself. Despite eventually raising the matter as a formal complaint, the responses I received were largely holding responses rather than a meaningful resolution. I expected much better communication and customer service from AOD and, unfortunately, would not recommend them based on this experience.

Edit: Following my review, Justin from Activate onDemand contacted me personally and reviewed the full history of my complaint. He has explained what happened with DHL and confirmed that a formal complaint was raised with DHL, with action taken regarding the delivery driver. AOD has also confirmed that the communication issue has been logged internally for improvement.

I appreciate the time taken to investigate and respond to my concerns.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the review, and thanks for shopping with us.

I have taken the time to dig back through all of the communications between you and our customer services.

I appreciate it was frustrating having the delivery missed on a Friday, and your custom is incredibly valuable to us. so once again please accept our sincere apologies that your delivery was delayed.

What happened.

DHL let us down - your delivery which should have been with on Friday the 7th arrived with you on Monday 10th .

DHL went to the wrong house which is why the delivery did not make it to you on Friday.

DHL deliver on Mon-Fri

Apple's Distributor works Mon-Fri

Our team kept comms with you over the weekend while we waited for information from DHL to come through.

Our team let you know at 7:15am on Monday that they were on the case.

Your phone was delivered on Monday 10th 11:50am

You raised a complaint on Tuesday 11th at 8:30am

Our team have:

a. Apologised that DHL delivered the package before responding to our customer service which meant that they did not have any updates for you they could share with you before the package was delivered, and:

b. confirmed that as a result of your complaint a formal complaint has been raised with DHL resulting in the driver being issued a compliance notice to avoid the issue happening in the future. (Root cause addressed) and,

c. Confirmed that the incident has been logged on our systems with improvements to response times being addressed.

If you don't feel the communications from the team addressed your compliant satisfactorily, please feel free to contact with me directly:

Abysmal customer service

Abysmal customer service. I ordered an Oura ring on this website through using the blue light card website. The package has been lost by DHL and activate on demand’s customer service has been terrible. I have asked for a refund and given evidence that DHL had lost my package and I am still yet to receive any confirmation I will get a refund or any compensation. It takes a day to receive a reply from them. It has been 2 weeks since I placed my order. If I had known this was a third party website I would not have ordered. DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE

Nice talking just now. Apologies again for the speed of comms from the team while they were sorting your issue with DHL.

Your refund will be processed today (was already in the queue, as DHL confirmed today that your package is now on it's way back to Oura's distributor after 2 failed delivery attempts)

Update - Your refund (you requested yesterday) has now been processed with conformation emailed to you. Apologies again that DHL were not able to leave the delivery without a signature or deliver to you on a saturday.
